The children worked with Anne following directives such as “put the cone on your shoulder…” Each child really did a great job identifying the shapes and following the directives. We read The Giving Tree for the story of the day. The children completed lots and lots of free art projects. It was a delightful afternoon.

We have been waiting for the chicks to hatch and they hatched earlier than expected. We had a total of nine chicks (so far). The children spent all of Monday watching them in the incubator. On Tuesday the children spent their day holding them. It was so much fun for them! We also were able to release two of the remaining four butterflies now that the weather is warmer. Unfortunately our frog died. But this too was a wonderful learning opportunity about the cycle of life.
